Summary
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez announced she will not attend Donald Trump’s inauguration, stating, “I don’t celebrate rapists,” referencing Trump’s history of sexual assault allegations.
While Trump has never been convicted of rape, a jury found him civilly liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll.
Ocasio-Cortez also criticized TikTok for crediting Trump with restoring service in the U.S., calling it a propaganda move.
She warned of social media platforms being weaponized by right-wing interests, claiming they are contributing to the rise of “21st-century fascism” under the incoming administration.
Her statement is so damn tone def when you know what the democrats have been supporting since pre 80’s. Republicans too mind you, but she’s Democrat, and someone I think has a conscience, and more than half a brain. I’ll respect her when she turns on every last traitor to the republic and stands damn near alone while Bernie’s chanting “told you so”
You can’t get anywhere in politics if you don’t sign up for being a Republican or a Democrat. Your ignorance is showing.
I don’t have opinion on this because I’m from Europe and I stopped understanding American politics but just wanted to point out that 80s were 40 fucking years ago. 40.
I likely agree with you about the democrats, but I am not sure I understand what you mean about how she is following them here.
